U.S. President-elect Donald Trump seems to be living up to his promise of upholding religious liberty in America, urging people recently to start saying "Merry Christmas" again.

During a Michigan rally, Trump observed that department stores are no longer putting up "Merry Christmas" signs like in the past, according to Life Site News. This is a shame, said the victorious Republican leader, because people didn't have a tough time greeting each other in the past.

"Merry Christmas, everybody, Merry Christmas!" he said. "Right? Merry Christmas."

"We're gonna start saying 'Merry Christmas' again," continued Trump. "How about all those department stores, they have the bells and they have the red walls and they have the snow, but they don't have 'Merry Christmas'? I think they're gonna start putting up, 'Merry Christmas.'"

Trump is already proving himself to be quite different from his predecessor, outgoing President Barack Obama. Obama is a stickler for political correctness, and he always chooses to avoid offending those of different faith by removing "God" out of his speeches and refusing to acknowledge religious attacks.

Trump, on the other hand, is not afraid to share his religious views. When he finished his Thanksgiving message, he told his audience: "God bless you and God bless America!"

Many evangelicals still doubt the veracity of Trump's faith, but Paula White, the president-elect's spiritual adviser, has attested to Trump's Christian faith time and again.

White earlier told CNN that Trump is a "man who loves God" and is "hungry in his heart for God." White said this is true even though he sometimes makes mistakes when speaking about his faith, such as the time when he spoke the the biblical words "two Corinthians" instead of "second Corinthians" during a speech.

Trump also once said that he did not need to ask God for forgiveness. But White was quick to defend him, saying she herself makes mistakes, too.
